I believe the answer is:

neglige

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'casual gear' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'scrambled egg line' is the wordplay.
'scrambled' is an anagram indicator.
'egg'+'line'='eggline'
'eggline' is an anagram of 'NEGLIGE'.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for neglige that I've seen before include "Diaphanous dressing-gown" , "Casual attire (from Fr.)" , "Light dressing gown" .)
